Vaudeville star, singer and actress, Myrtle Glass (also her stage name) appeared along with her beloved husband, Jimmy Conlin. The Glass and Conlin act combined physical comedy and music, Jimmy on the piano, combined with Myrtle's strong vocal range. The couple was part of the Keith, and Orpheum Vaudeville circuits, guaranteeing them stardom in the 1920s.
Their Vaudeville acts were very popular with audiences and with critics. The sketches were labeled "clean" they were often unscripted and the timing between the two was "impeccable". Conlin and Glass often appeared towards the top of the bill and usually closed the shows - a high compliment the Vaudeville.
Both Conlin and Glass made very early Vitaphone shorts at Warner Brothers, however, the crude recording equipment of the 1927-29 era wasn't forgiving to their vocal styles. As Jimmy's star rose as an actor, Myrtle, backed away from the limelight. She suffered from bouts of depression, and doubt following their daughter's death.
Her obituary appeared in the Los Angeles Times, May 14, 1945, under the heading of "Mrs. Jimmy Conlin". Given her love for her husband, she would have liked that very much.
Daughter of Robert Glass and Maude Copeland Glass. In addition to her husband, she was also survived by her sister, Naomi Glass of New York.
